Explanation:

Bindusara (298 – 273 B.C.) was called by the Greeks as “ Amitrochates (in Greek) or Amitraghata (in Sanskrit)” meaning slayer of enemies. He is said to have conquered the Deccan up to Mysore. • Taranatha, the Tibetan monk states that Bindusara conquered 16 states comprising ‘the land between the two seas’. The Sangam Tamil literature also confirms the Mauryan invasion of the far south. Therefore, it can be said that the Mauryan Empire under Bindusara extended up to Mysore. • Hence option (d) is the correct answer.
